The word fitness should not scare you. It may be that it causes you to harken back to being overweight as a kid or of spending arduous hours on the elliptical machine. You must let go of these feelings and start enjoying a healthy body. The below article will provide you some tips on how to do this.

Change up the exercises you do on a regular basis. A varied routine makes it easier to stay focused and motivated when you are trying to become more fit. This also uses different areas of muscles so your body does not become accustomed to it and not benefiting from the exercise anymore.

The easiest thing to learn is that you should life heavy weights for shorter times. Focus on one muscle group at a time: start with your chest for instance. Warm up by using weights that you find less challenging to lift. Your warm-up weight should be light enough that you can lift it 15 to 20 times. Next, increase the weight and do a smaller set of 6-8. Add 5 more pounds, and then repeat the reps for your third set.

If you're making wise fitness decisions, you'll give your exercise routine a rest when you get sick. When you're sick, your body is trying to heal itself. The body will be inefficient when it comes to muscle building and physical endurance. So, halt your workouts until you have recovered. In the interim, be sure to eat properly and get plenty of rest.

Add many intervals of lighter weight, as opposed to heavier weights and less repetitions, when lifting weights. This will help you see results more quickly. It may seem like the ability to lift more is most important, but the goal is to see who can go longest without needing to give up. Many famous weight lifters use this technique.

Keep a journal of what you do each day. Write down your exercise, foods, drinks - all of it. Even make note of the times you exercise and eat, and the temperature each day. This way, you can reflect on highs, lows and obstacles you encounter. If you skip a couple of days of exercise, you will know what happened.

If you truly want to do everything in your power to get into shape then you are going to want to invest money into hiring a personal trainer. Personal trainers have a lot of knowledge that you don't, and can be extremely motivational. Some people may not respond well to a personal trainer, but for others, they can be just what they need.

Are you short on time and think you cannot fit in a workout? Make your workouts into two sessions. Don't increase the duration of your workout, just do it in two portions. For example, rather than jog for one continuous hour, try jogging half an hour early in the day, then jog for half an hour in the evening hours. If you do not want to visit the gym two times in a day, do one of the workouts at home.

Some people perceive exercise as inefficient and do extreme workout routines to try and burn a large number of calories. Doing this comes with a host of risks, including cardiovascular problems, muscle damage and dehydration. Also, if you exercise for too long, fat won't be burned, anyway.

By implementing these tips and techniques, your feelings about weight loss, physical fitness and eating right may have changed for the positive. By doing this you have not only extended your lifespan but will also be able to enjoy the time you do have even better.
